MLB Japan Series Ends in Sweep
The Major League Baseball All-Star Japan series ended this past week with the MLB sweeping for the first time since 1935.
The final game ended in dramatic fashion with Jose Reyes providing a walk-off home run for the win.
I like the idea of the international series, as it can only help promote baseball. I wouldn't have minded seeing more coverage of it domestically, but that's probably a bit much to ask for considering NFL and college football are in the midst of their seasons.
Even though it's been going on infrequently for years, I hope the series leads to more international baseball stuff, like an improved baseball World Cup, for starters.
